the GF loves the car and is always saying shit to me about it. My comeback is: AND WAHT!!??

But still the car is just a piece of metal, it can be replaced, she cant. The car isnt the most important thing in my life.... My right hand is the most important thing :lol:

My missus lives in the US so she's pretty into the whole FWD 1/4 mile racing. She did an engine conversion (lancer with a MIVEC engine) herself and turbocharged the standard 1.8 engine herself.

She don't mind me playing around with my car but as long as she gets a go too.

my girl used to be 'its just a car' also. its not quite as bad now that ive taught her to drive in it, she got her lisence and now she wants to drive everywhere.. its not 'just a car' as much these days.

shaun.

Uhm... My b/f never really knew anything about cars till he met me.. Now I'm the one asking him all the questions!

It's good to have the same interest. He likes the cruising part... and I love the drag racing part.

Although, I dont let him drive my car much anymore because he seems like he's being taken over by the devil and the cars full pelt everywhere it goes. Apparently.. "that's how a skyline should be driven" he says.. PFft I say.

You hear of chicks who pursuede us men once we get married (etc.) to sell our beloved cars, this happend to my mate, he only had a silvia so I didn't find that too offensive.

Speaking with my missus she said you know your going to get rid of that 32 when we get our house, as I was shocked and about to slap her from here to friday, she said sell it and get a 34. How beautiful...

My g/friend is not really a car chick, but has always had a bit of a soft spot for skylines, so when I got mine she was always wanting to drive it anywere we went. She is even starting to love the brass button, also she has no qualms about me spending $$ on it. She appreciates what it is and loves the fact it's my pride and hobby of choice. (second to her of course, wink,wink)

gf likes the car......thinks its "cute"........

how many times do I have to tell girls...."CUTE" is NOT a word used to describe a skyline !!!!!!!

she likes it...but hates it even when I give it a little bit of boost......have to change at at like 2500rpm when she is in the car.

I was given the choice, the car or the GF... Car looks great!

Seriously though, considering I've spent enough money on my car to buy a half decent property, I can understand why she was upset. My response was, if it's my money, I'll do what I want with it.

She started to accept it once she worked out there was no changing me. She still doesn't like it but knows there is nothing she can do about it.

Wanted: Hot chick who likes cars and is willing to put up with me. Photos a must! Only hotties need apply.

nice work leewah, mine does like the car but hate how much time and money i send on it for only a little bit extra preformance or looks.

but she will come around soon.

i think my girls just a bit pissed at the moment as instead of finishing my r30, like she wanted me too, i spent 12 and a half grand on another r31, me bad....

she'll get over it once we go for a spin....

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
